Only 43 graves were equipped with weapons 83 from the 786 burials of Szekszárd-
Bogyiszlói út cemetery, 4 of them were horse burials 84 and 2 female graves. 85 The rest
is 34 male burials with weapons, this is probably one third of the male burials of the
period. (fig. 8.) The most frequent weapons are the arrowheads, altogether 27 burials
contained them, 86 20 of them were equipped only with elements of archery. 87 The rest
are mixed: 5 of the 9 graves with close-combat weapons contained arrowheads as
well. Only 12 graves (among them 4 horse burials) were equipped only with closecombat
weapons. 88 The most popular close-combat weapons were the spears (from 10
male graves and 4 horse-burials). 89 The second one is the spatha (Merovingian
double-edged sword) from 5 male burials. 90 Two seaxes are found in the cemetery,
too. 91 One burial contained only one umbo without any other elements of armament. 92
(fig. 9.)
In the Csákberény-Orondpuszta cemetery 66 weapon graves were excavated,

arrowheads, they were found in 35 graves, 93 however, bone fittings of composite
bows were found only in 6 burials. 94 Only 3 swords are known from the cemetery, 95
